What if you could have a Jenkins environment that is completely disposable? Using Docker and Joyent’s ContainerPilot, the team at Care.com HomePay has created a production Jenkins environment that is completely software-defined. Everything required to set up a new Jenkins environment is stored in source control, versioned, and released just like any other software

Rolling deploys on Triton Elastic Docker Host are easy using Docker containers and Docker Compse. Watch this video to learn how to deploy, scale, and update dockerized applications on Triton with zero downtime.

Docker Compose is the easiest way to get started with dockerized, multi-container applications on Triton's Elastic Docker Host. The Triton Elastic Docker Host automatically runs your containers across the data center for the best performance. Docker Compose makes it easy to start and scale your multi-container applications across the data center.

High-quality IoT apps can be challenging to build and scale with traditional monolithic services architectures. The backends serving millions of device end points are often plagued by server-side concurrency bottlenecks generated by synchronous server threads. Microservices built with Node.js are being used to solve this design problem, primarily due to its asynchronous event-based architecture and high concurrency characteristics.

Getting started with container orchestration and scheduling systems, like Kubernetes, is relatively simple, but as your deployment grows it gets complicated fast. There are ways to reduce that complexity, and even eliminate cluster management. We will share a simpler approach that leverages Docker Compose (in ways you may not know are possible) and the Autopilot Pattern for application micro-orchestration. The Autopilot Pattern works with any container scheduler, but for many applications and use cases we’ve found that this design pattern, combined with smart use of Docker Compose, provides the most elegant and scalable solution.

Follow our tutorial for how to automate running a Kubernetes cluster on Triton with Triton K8s Supervisor. You'll understand how Triton K8s Supervisors—Rancher, Terraform, and Ansible—work together to provision KVMs, install Docker, and setup a Kubernetes environment.
